ABOUT THE PEACE SYMPOSIA SERIES

Japan Institute’s Peace Symposia series is the signature event of Japan Institute’s Peace Program. It inspires conversations about peace through the lens of cultural diplomacy by exploring the interplay between and convergence of landscapes, architecture, and arts. Ultimately, Japan Institute will hold six Peace Symposia on six continents – the first was in Tokyo, Japan, and the second was in London, UK. New York was the third, followed by this one in Cape Town, South Africa.

Japan Institute’s peace programming is made possible through Robert and Deborah Zagunis.
